A flash of a darkness across the glen easily dismissed as the broad wingspan of a raven, or the cracking of branches behind him explained by a passing troupe of deer. He was jumpy, that was all, on edge after a visitor in the night had upended all he knew to be true. Never mind that it was coming up on two months since his encounter, and the night still burrowed into his brain, manifesting into his days like a specter."

Summary
"Shane thought, as he studied the creature’s face inches from his own, that it resembled reading poetry to someone on their deathbed; he’d been afforded the mercy of witnessing something very beautiful, before his death.
The memory of an annotation surfaced unconsciously, soothing his fear. A scrawled, frantic handwriting in one of the accounts, detailing that the pain of a nightwalker’s bite was remarkable; until replaced with incomparable ecstasy."
or, apothecary Shane gets a late-night visit from a mysterious customer.

Summary
“You are my friend, Hayden, but he is the man I am going to spend the rest of my life with - he is the man that I love. I will choose him over you, every fucking time.”
Over anything and everything, Shane would choose Ilya. Even over hockey, if it came to that. There’s no doubt in his mind, no question about it.
Losing hockey would hurt, and Shane would grieve it, but it wouldn’t kill him. It would be an ache he could live with. Losing Ilya is not something that Shane could ever survive. They’re so tangled together - so intertwined - that to lose Ilya would be to lose himself.
